Direct Platform Control (Ipmi Over Lan); Table 71. Lan Channel Capacity - Intel SE7520AF2 Technical Product Specification

Platform Management
implements gratuitous ARP support according to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification v1.5.
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification v1.5 defines how IPMI messages,
encapsulated in RMCP packet format, can be sent to and from the mBMC. This capability
allows a remote console application to access the mBMC and perform the following operations:
− Chassis Control, e.g., get chassis status, reset chassis, power-up chassis, power-down
chassis
− Get system sensor readings
− Get and Set system boot options
− Get Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information
− Get System Event Log (SEL) entries
−
Get Sensor Data Records (SDR)
−
Set Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
− Set LAN configurations
In addition, the mBMC supports LAN alerting in the form of SNMP traps that conform to the IPMI
Platform Event Trap (PET) format.

Direct Platform Control (IPMI over LAN)

Direct Platform Control provides a mechanism for delivering IPMI Messages directly to the
management controllers via a LAN connection. The NICs and the management controllers
remain active on standby power, enabling the IPMI Messaging when the system is powered up,
powered down, and in a system sleep state. This allows a remote console application to be able
to access the management controller capabilities, including:
− Power on/off and reset control with the ability to set BIOS boot flags
− FRU, SDR, and SEL access
−
BMC configuration access
− Ability to transfer IPMI messages between the LAN interface and other interfaces. This
capability enables messages to be delivered to system management software, and
